If it only takes a few weeks for your child to get bored once school is out, you might want to look into one of several youth camps our local schools are sponsoring this summer. Some will focus on sports, others on music or drama. Most are open to a variety of ages.
Here is a list in chronological order:
CHS Theater Camp – Students headed into second through the 12th grade can participate in a series of hands on classes at the CHS Black Box Theatre to learn more about acting, music theater, dance, basic acrobatics, basic stage combat, playwriting, pantomime and voice. The camps will run for two weeks with half-day and full-day options available for second through eighth grade from June 29 to July 10 and July 13-24. The camp for high school students is all day from July 27 to Aug. 7. Registration fees range from $125 to $225, including a daily snack and a camp T-shirt; multi-child discounts and some scholarships are available. Click here for more information.
